Treating malaria Each year, more than 600 000 people die of malaria – a treatable disease.

Malaria can also be transmitted from mother to child before or during delivery. There are five parasite species that cause malaria in humans, of which two of these species pose the greatest public health threat, namely Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax.
